Candy buffets and more!
| By Melissa ~ January 25th, 2010 ~ Wedding Planning | 4 Comments |
While planning your wedding, you may want to incorporate a fun, interactive element for your reception. Your guests will love the opportunity to feel like a kid again, and the display may be an additional design element as well – enhancing the look and theme of your wedding. While candy buffets continue to be quite a rage (and why not? Who isn’t mesmerized by a wide selection of sweets and treats?) I’m detecting a couple alternatives to that trend:
What dessert displays do you suggest for a fun addition to a wedding reception? 
Cookie Buffets! Delightful! Offering guests a variety of favorites will bring a smile to everyone’s face. Place nearby a display of mini-milk cartons on ice so your guests can partake in the yumminess immediately.
Crunch & Munch: Not so much a sweets person? Why not fill those swanky apothecary jars with salty treats: pretzels, potato chips, salted nuts, chex mix, etc. Have decorative to-go bags or boxes nearby (and strategically place this display near the bar.)
Gourmet Popcorn: Who doesn’t love popcorn??! Delight your guests with favorites as well as unique flavors: caramel, kettle, white chocolate cinnamon, butter pecan..
S’mores: yes, the camping dessert gone gourmet. Good luck keeping this buffet stocked! When paired with a coffee station or shot glasses of cold milk, you’re guests will be fully fueled to dance the night away.
